Re: [PATCH] Support for MS-SQL and Sybase via FreeTDS

Ok, I've downloaded Sybase SQL Anywhere 11 for Mac and did a few tests.

I can now officially confirm that my patch works for Sybase as well :)

I've only one small change on my dlr patch (already updated on my  
blog), because the ending ";" on the insert query caused problems on  
sybase. Other than that, my FreeTDS patch works perfect with Sybase.
